Multilevel Upscaling in Heterogeneous Porous Media
The multiscale structure of heterogeneous porous media prevents a straightforward numerical treatment of the underlying mathematical ow models. In particular, fully resolved ow simulations are intractable and yet the ne-scale structure of a porous medium may signiicantly innuence the coarse-scale properties of the solution (e.g., average ow rates). Consequently, homogenization or upscaling proc...
متن کاملUpscaling and reversibility of Taylor dispersion in heterogeneous porous media.
Tracer flow in stratified porous media is dominated by the interaction between convective transport and transverse diffusive mixing. By averaging the tracer concentration in the transverse direction, a one-dimensional non-Fickian dispersion model is derived. The model accounts for the relaxation process that reduces the convective transport to dispersive mixing. This process is (short-) time co...
متن کاملModeling Multiphase Flow with Phase Transitions in Porous Media
A new approach to model multiphase flow in porous media with phase appearance and disappearance is to use nonlinear complementarity constraints. In addition to the standard mass balance equations for mulitphase flow, a set of complementarity constraints are added in order to handle the phase transitions. This results in a larger system of nonlinear equations, which is non-smooth in general. The...
متن کاملTwo-phase flows involving capillary barriers in heterogeneous porous media
We consider a simplified model of a two-phase flow through a heterogeneous porous medium, in which the convection is neglected. This leads to a nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem in a domain shared in an arbitrary finite number of homogeneous porous media. We introduce a new way to connect capillary pressures on the interfaces between the homogeneous domains, which leads to a general notion...
متن کاملRadiation in Porous Media: an Upscaling Methodology
The radiative properties of any porous medium are statistically defined by a cumulated extinction distribution function, a cumulated absorption probability and a bidirectional phase function. These functions are obtained by a Monte Carlo technique, from both the medium morphology data, known or issued from a X or γ ray tomography, and the radiative properties at a scale lower than the tomograph...
